The annual Mayor's Cup Game was followed by an on-ice altercation that included both coaches and several players and resulted in 125 minutes of penalties. Four players were disqualified, including Zalewski – he won't be able to play in Friday's game at Clarkson – and Union suspended its coach for two games.
